Question
Where and why do we use Taq polymerase enzyme when it works exactly as DNA polymerase?
✓
Answer
In PCR, because it is a thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme, gets isolated from bacteria Thermus aquaticus from hot water springs, and it does not get denatured at high temperature which is required during PCR and works as normal DNA polymerase enzyme (whereas the normal DNA polymerase gets denatured at high temperature).
